"HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!" After editing this video that part has been stuck in my head SO bad. I guess you could say some of the vocals are in fact growing on me. Some are still a bit foreign to me, but at least I can safely say that I am growing to like this song more and more the more I hear it. Have a good day!
It will grow on you and the more you explore the more you will see that the early stuff was powerful and aggressive and we watched and evolution of souls for these guys (which also helped with millions of others evolutions)...if ya do their songs from the beginning...you will see it and hear it and then is will seem a perfect piece of the puzzle. They really all fit.
During the production of Lateralus, the label ask the band for something “harder” that could be marketed to the masses. tool gave them this… which of course couldn’t be played on the radio, etc due to the long drum solo and the 3 minute “interlude”. "Hope this is what you wanted"
Maynard with a teachable moment...”careful what you ask for, because you might just get it”. Personally I love T&L even though it doesn’t fit with the rest of the album. Any artist whose ever been commissioned to perform or create something for a client has this song, or at least the sentiment of it, lying in wait in their heads.
Maynard actually hurt his throat/ voice because of this song. This song was dedicated to the exec's that forced them to put something "hard/ angry" on this album. Hope this is what they wanted, hope it's what they had in mind, cause this is what they're getting. Cause it's not radio friendly lmaooo.
As you move to Lateralus… I feel like I do on Christmas morning, drinking my coffee, smiling as I watch the kids open their best Christmas gift! However… knowing your preferences now, it might not become your favorite, which I can understand. We'll see.
@@jainelson8840 lol I swear that's the evolution of a tool fan. 10k days is like my favourite album now too over time. Right in two? Best fucking song ever.
I believe that Rolling Stone magazine has the drum riff that Danny plays on Ticks and leaches as the all time no. 1 on their rock/metal chart. And you should absolutely get in to some Metal. Need I say, Meshuggah. You won't regret it.
You'll like the title track for shure. "Lateralus" is a mindblowing song. I listen to Tool for over 20 years now, Lateralus is one of the songs that always inspired me, helped me thru difficult times, gave me energy, you just close your eyes and it takes you to another place. Enjoy!
True that.. The song that made me open my eyes for Tool. Those lyrics are something else. The fact that the whole song is built on fibonacci numbers is mindblowing, and how he goes "spiral out, keep going" in the end is just crazy.
Yo, that song is different, when I understood the meaning it changed my life, I used to have anxiety and try to find problem in everything, specially myself, and this song helped get rid of that behavior and just live life the way it is without caring about what may come, imo it is the best rock/metal song ever created.
Hello...i would like to add, as the story goes, the Disposition, Reflection and Triad are generally suggested to be listened together as a set. You should enjoy what is to come. ☆
Because of the Transition but i also feel reflection is something to be appreciated alone as one of the top songs on the album. I prefer Disposition and Reflection and leave Triad separate
No, they do not need to be listened to as a whole. This has been the most confusing trend in reactions and tool fans. The listener should decide after hearing each alone if it speaks to them that way or not. They do not for me and I’m not digging how much this has become a fad. Very...not Tool.
@@laurenhunterviolinchannel1123 well...would agree that the value of a musical arrangement should be evaluated on its own merit and the listener can objectively decide on their own the value if the composition. That being said, I personally enjoy the 3 songs in succession as it seems they compliment each other and seem to have an arc when listened together. But, as to my comment, I was just letting the gentleman know that among many listeners the 3 songs are generally listened together as a triad ..a musical group of three. But certainly...he and anyone are free to do as they may.♡
I am a little jealous. The rest of this album is,imo, the best ....I hate to call it JUST music. It is so much more. You are about to experience Lateralus, disposition,relection,and triad.AMAZING
I was hoping you would check out the meaning behind this song, it was to spite their record company, even the long interlude was on purpose so radio stations wouldn't play it, anyways enjoying your reactions, can't wait for the next 2 albums
Almost there! Reflection/triad is coming! Take an extra toke for that one!! 🤘😎🤘 Edit: calm, chill music huh.....REFLECTION IS COMING!!! Blast off time my friend!
regardless of taste, i feel that in the context of the album this one's function is to cleanse your system from the more persistent parasitic energies that still cling to your system after having experienced the first part of the album. the ticks and leeches that are not lured away by the beauty of the previous songs and need to be kicked and screamed out the hard way. kind of like a purification before entering a sacred site, with the previous songs being the pilgrimage. now we're ready to enter the spiral...
I think your response is on point. It’s a glorious middle finger to the record company they were working with, but it is not in keeping with the tone with the rest of the album. I don’t know if it is intentional, but it’s in the middle of the album like it is the middle finger of the album. It’s either hilariously deliberate or a great coincidence.
I had a BLAST watching your face melt on this one! 🤣 Tool is drum nirvana of enlightening proportions on average but this one is particularly aggressive. And effing awesome… in my professional opinion. PS, I know what you mean about wanting to play like Danny but I’ve only ever known a few drummers with the insane ambition to really play how and what he plays and to do it just like him. Not many people care to climb Mount Everest either.
another amazing band you could have a journey through is A perfect circle, Maynard is the lead singer for them as well, much much more of their songs are mellow but still instrumentally as spectacular as tool, definitely check them out after completing the tool journey! love the videos man
Maynard has always used his voice as an instrument. This is an angry song and you can definitely hear the anger and disgust in his voice...it not only matches the song lyrically but musically as well. It's definitely not the "beautiful Maynard voice" that we are so used to, but it is nonetheless effective...just another example of his great range.
You nailed it. Been a life long Tool fan and tho I recognise the talent required to pull this song off, it's never been my fav to listen to compared to other Tool songs, tho I know some it's one of their favs. But it is an incredible song to listen to when you're pissed or have had someone leeching on you lol. It's definitely a "message" song with the right instrumentation to communicate the message properly lol. Great reaction. Cheers!
If it makes you move your hips, its Justin on the bass. If it makes you move your arms, its Adam on guitar. ps: this track was not part of the original arc of the album as a whole. the band added it in as a very specific message to their record company and the lawyers. So it sticks out a lot and is a very different tone/soundscape than the rest.
You're fortunate in that you don't see a need for the therapeutic qualities of harder music. As if you grew up happy. I didn't however, and got into Metallica when I was thirteen, in the early nineties. I was an angry kid at the time and metal kinda saved me from myself. But tool helped me understand both aggression and subtlety
I have heard this song had a specific purpose. Whoever had money behind the album wanted the band to sound more 'metal', so they put this song on the album. It's a great song, but much more of a typical metal song, and if you listen to the words it makes perfect sense Maynard was pissed at someone and screams 'Is this what you wanted!!'
You'll love the title track (hopefully haha, atleast it's one of the fan favorites). The song that made me open my eyes for Tool. Those lyrics are something else. The fact that the whole song is built on fibonacci numbers is mindblowing, and how he goes "spiral out, keep going" in the end just so cool. Maybe you already know what the fibonacci sequence is, but you should look up "The Golden Ratio" before listening. It's a pattern found everywhere in the universe. Nature, spiral galaxies etc. It's like a mathematical formula that the entire universe (and the song itself) is built upon and that makes the song that much deeper.
I think you would really enjoy Circa Survives whole discography. Post-hardcore, not super heavy, pretty introspective lyrics (after the first few albums anyway) amazing drumming, amazing artwork, interesting guitar sounds, sort of experimental and progressive but not overly so. I am not sure how you are going to find the next band you react to, but I would definitely consider Circa Survive (at least check out the first song on first album then decide from there).
The song on its surface is literally making fun of the metal heads that just want the angry metal music all the time. The band were also dealing with a bad lawsuit at the time and ticks and leeches describes the lawyers, basically. As with all TOOL songs, your interpretation is just as good as any one else’s.
That Mellow, Chill thing you love.......it's coming.....aka the Holy Trinity.......dude I'm so jealous of you hearing all this for the first time.......20 years later!
The metal growl, an acquired over time taste. I feel you I was once there. Start with Pantera, Phil gets down and dirty as they progress. Then you can slip into Slayer and Lamb of God and go from there.
Disposition reflection and triad are meant to run together. Also if you prefer softer tool 10000 days and fear innoculum are much more mellow over all in tone.
I'm sure someone may have said this but when I saw them live on the Lateralus tour, he used a mega phone to sing this song. It destroyed his vocal cords trying to sing it straight up. I dig the galaxy picture, id be interested if you do astrophysics content
When someone says I don't listen to heavy music I don't get it. I listen to virtually all types of music except pop country and pop punk. Symphony can be heavy music.
If you ask any TOOL Army people about the songs on each album that don't seem to fit into the feel or the overall narrative of the trilogy (1st 3 albums), they will explain the backstop of the song to you hun. Your senses are dead on. Don't second-guess yourself. 💜🌀💚

Chris Gamble sounds like you knew the pieces fit. 👍
Same. It has grown on me. At the same time, we dont have to like EVERYTHING
@@chrisgamble5843 he started way from the beginning. Album to album in timeline. 😙 Check it out, it's nice to see his emotional journey.

But it definitely is what the Tool army wanted
Cause this is what you're getting...

the subtlety of justin chancellor is pretty insane in his bass playing,
if you focus on the little things he is doing

I can't wait to see your 10k days reactions. I love that album.
Totally. Lateralus was always my favorite, but over the past few years I think 10,000 Days has overtaken it.
@@jainelson8840 saaame i can't get over how amazing each single track is.
I think that will be his favourite.

A superb song that sticks out like a sore thumb on this album
And its placement on the album, between Parabola and Lateralus, makes no sense. But is perfectly Tool.

Such a genuine reaction.
Cool that you're at least open to listen to these vocals, especially if you're more into the chill side of music!
Almost there! Reflection/triad is coming! Take an extra toke for that one!! 🤘😎🤘
Edit: calm, chill music huh.....REFLECTION IS COMING!!! Blast off time my friend!
Freaking love Ticks and Leeches 🤙🤙🤙
You will love Disposition and Reflection
And triad

Can't wait! ^__^

kind of like a purification before entering a sacred site, with the previous songs being the pilgrimage. now we're ready to enter the spiral...
"Danny Carey makes me jealous all the time. It's not fun"
As a drummer, that shit hits hard
the craziest part for me is when the high hat rolls in around 1:09 and you realize hes playing it single pedal bass

Great appetizer before the main dish. One of them anyway.
They recorded this last, and Maynard damaged his voice with this one, for several weeks.
La-te-ra-l_us next

That's what you get when you combine jazz, indian influences and four fucking powerful limbs. Oh, and basketball shirts
Title track next. Still the best thing Tool have done in my book. 🌀
I remember seeing this song live, tool had tricky come out and sing with maynard.

The metal growl, an acquired over time taste. I feel you I was once there. Start with Pantera, Phil gets down and dirty as they progress. Then you can slip into Slayer and Lamb of God and go from there.
In case you didnt know you need to listen to disposition/reflection/triad back to back.
righteous anger is quite the thing.
Disposition reflection and triad are meant to run together. Also if you prefer softer tool 10000 days and fear innoculum are much more mellow over all in tone.
I think some of 10k days and FI are hard af . All of their albums are insane
Didn't say they weren't. But I think they are much more mellow that aenima or lateralus and definitely less aggressive than undertow and opiate
the way he talks reminds me of Adam lol
here for the drumming
Same, I’ve taught my body to play the intro and most of this song but in separate parts. Just gotta put it together.
I'm sure someone may have said this but when I saw them live on the Lateralus tour, he used a mega phone to sing this song. It destroyed his vocal cords trying to sing it straight up. I dig the galaxy picture, id be interested if you do astrophysics content
Definitely get stoned when you listen to 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum. You won’t regret it.
I wish I could listen to rosetta stoned with dmt for the first time
This is what I had in mind
Dude it took me years to get this song..... but I can awesome air drum it......... and it's one of my favs now :)
The title track, next, is amongst the greatest songs they’ve ever written.
I've always thought of this song as a sequel to Hooker With A Penis and it felt very personally vengeful.
Nice!
...But you guys know what's up next, right? :D
When someone says I don't listen to heavy music I don't get it. I listen to virtually all types of music except pop country and pop punk. Symphony can be heavy music.
"Fah'eep de owee'yah'd" the last track is a trip.
Taking all you can take. All you can fucking take. Take what you wanted and GOOOOOO!!!! Oh yeah!
Here we go....
lol. ur bandmate needs to react to this.
The category i have given Tool is " Progressive Mental Metal " because they fuck with your mind!
Cuz this is what you're getting!!!
They wrote this song as an FU to the record label pushing then to record more aggressive music. They got what they asked for lol
If you ask any TOOL Army people about the songs on each album that don't seem to fit into the feel or the overall narrative of the trilogy (1st 3 albums), they will explain the backstop of the song to you hun. Your senses are dead on. Don't second-guess yourself. 💜🌀💚
Also just a bit of advice to help u get into metal vocals a little easier, just look at them as another instrument in the band🙏🏽
its time...we re getting there
i also consider TOOL Life metal opposite of Death Metal
Your lights just are checking out cuz they know they can’t compete with the illumination of what’s next.
He is talking to you!
You deserve more views my man!
You’re in for it with the next song.
I believe it sounds like like fap de wade (the pronunciation of that last one)
time to spiral out in the next video
Think this is them saying Fuck You to their lable (?)
